SIGGRAPH 2001
Morgan McGuire writes "SIGGRAPH 2001, the graphics industry's main scientific conference and gathering for artists, film producers, researchers, and game developers, just ended.
I wrote up my experiences as a game developer/researcher at the conference for flipcode." Lots of stuff for those of us who wish we could go every year and see the pretty pictures. Hits on Shrek, Monsters, Inc. and a variety of new techniques floating around.
This year there were signs posted here and there in the conference center saying that all the paper presentations, some panels and courses would be put online. They had their video crew recording them.
